Description
Improper input validation in non-secure-callable (NSC)
veneer functions of the NXP MCUXpresso SDK rpmsg-lite multicore example
(multicore_examples/rpmsg_lite_pingpong_tzm) up to releases 26.06.00-lts and
26.09.00 may allow a non-secure caller to supply unvalidated pointers and size
values, potentially resulting in disclosure of secure-world memory to the
non-secure domain, or denial of service. All software versions starting from
26.06.01-lts and 26.12.00-pvw1 have fixed this issue.

AI Analysis

Impact

Improper input validation in non‑secure callable veneer functions of the MCUXpresso SDK rpmsg‑lite multicore example allows a non‑secure caller to supply unvalidated pointers and buffer lengths. This flaw can read secure‑world memory into the non‑secure domain or trigger a denial of service, representing a medium‑severity confidentiality violation.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the NXP MCUXpresso SDK rpmsg‑lite multicore example, specifically releases up to 26.06.00‑lts and 26.09.00. Versions beginning with 26.06.01‑lts and 26.12.00‑pvw1 incorporate the fix.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.8 places this issue in the medium–severity range, and the EPSS score is not available, indicating no known high exploitation probability. It is not listed in CISA KEV. The likely attack vector is local: any application executing in the non‑secure world of the same device could exploit the flaw by invoking the vulnerable NSC veneer functions with crafted parameters. The required conditions are that the non‑secure caller has the ability to call these functions, which is normally granted to co‑running applications on the same MCU. If the conditions are met, the attacker could gain read access to secure‑world memory and potentially crash the secure world, leading to loss of confidentiality or availability.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the MCUXpresso SDK to version 26.06.01‑lts or newer, which includes the patch for the NSC veneer input validation issue.
  • If an update is not immediately possible, modify or restrict non‑secure applications so they no longer invoke the vulnerable NSC veneer functions, and implement application‑level input validation for any pointer or size parameters passed to these calls.
  • Re‑design the trusted zone interface to reduce or eliminate non‑secure calls that can dereference secure‑world pointers, such as removing or refactoring the multicast example or enforcing stricter privilege checks in the veneer layer.
